Hours after being dealt a major court defeat, former President Donald Trump slammed former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton as “one of the most corrupt politicians” and accused her of “breaking into the White House.”
“So, Crooked Hillary Clinton, one of the most corrupt politicians ever to run for President, can break into the White House, my apartment, buildings I own, and my campaign—in other words, she can spy on a Presidential candidate and ultimately the president of the UNnid=ted States,” Trump wrote in a statement shared on Twitter by his spokesperson Liz Harrington.
“And the now totally discredited Fake News Media does everything they can not to talk about it. On the other hand, failed Gubernatorial candidate, Letitia James, can run for the office of AG on saying absolutely horrendous and false things about Donald Trump, a man she doesn’t know and has never met, go on to get elected, and then selectively prosecute him and his family,” he complained.
Trump’s rant came after New York Supreme Court Judge Arthur Engoron refused to quash subpoenas and depositions filed against the former president and his children, Donald Trump Jr, and Ivanka Trump, in connection to the New York State investigation into the Trump Organization’s alleged financial fraud.
Now, all three Trumps must now testify in the civil investigation conducted by the New York Attorney General.
The ruling from Engoron adds to a series of legal defeats Trump has suffered this week.
